Forget about what you do over a gallon of gas. You need to run a full tank and let us know what you are getting. Over a full tank of city I get 16ish, mixed driving nets between 20-22 and all highway I can see up to 35 depending on the ambient temperature.

Also, what the heck is an MPG meter? If you want an accurate MPG calculation reset your trip when you fill up, drive until you get the low fuel light and use the trip reading and the gallons required to fill it up to get your MPG.

so the lil meters inside the car in the overhead thing arent acurate at all?

I wouldn't trust the DIC, they are known to be off by plus or minus a few MPG.

ill do the full tank thing when i got some more cash XD..... as for how far i seen my needle move and the 56 miles i drove....... didnt move as much as i thought it would....

so im sure im getting pretty decent milage

cause even if those meters were 4mpg off thats still good milage 20/28

QUESTION ::::::::::

i noticed this recently or is this always normal...

i was driving my impala in heavy traffic and a lane opened up and i nailed the gas to the floor and went over 2 lanes then back over another and when i hit the gas and turned.. the car pulled the way i was turning.... like Pulling Hard... i used to dive a 1991 lesabre with the 170hp/220lb-ft 3800 and it never pulled like that and i used to drive it like a maniac

The fuel gauge is non linear. It will hardly move for the first 50 miles and then will go down faster and faster as you get closer to empty. It's got something to do with the shape of the gas tank.

As far as the pulling thing, you might be experiencing torque steer. But without being there, I can't say for sure.
